“Ramadan is about creating an understanding of the feelings of the underprivileged, and the aim isn't hardship or reducing consumption. There are a lot of misunderstandings about Islam in contemporary society. This event has been created to promote understanding of religious teachings in Turkey.”

^ I can appreciate that the passage starts with good intentions, bringing up empathy for the underprivileged and acknowledging misunderstandings about Islam. But it felt like such a missed teaching opportunity. The author was already on the topic anyway, so I feel like ending the sentence with ‘…religious teachings in Turkey and for Muslims worldwide’ would have made so much more sense instead of localising it. I mean how it’s written makes it sound like Ramadan and iftar are practices specific to Turkey only 🫩
